Solar electric or photovoltaic (fo-toe-vole-tay-ick), often abbreviated as PV is a technology that converts sunlight into electricity. This electricity can be used to power appliances such as fans and water pumps and can also be converted for use throughout your home or buisness.
A PV systems system is a collection of many non-moving components with solar cells as its the building block. These solar cells qre wired together and housed in one or multiple units.
Solar thermal can be used to provide 35% to 85% of your water heating needs by supplement your water heater, furnace, boiler, and can be used to heat your pool or spa.
These systems are affordable, cost effective and work with all types of heating systems. Most systems will save you more money on your energy bills than the original cost of the system in about 3 - 7 years.

D&M Alternative Energy has seen solar (PV) prove its self as the best option for the majority of our region. However, we do recognize that all renewable energy is a step in the right direction. When the sun is not shinning there is usually a storm coming and when a storm rolls in it brings stronger winds with it. This balance makes wind an excelent back-up for a solar (PV) powered home.
In most of the northeast wind power is not strong enough on its own. Exceptions to this include the tops of mountains and along the coast. Although technology is constantly improving , in order for most wind generators to provide electricity you must have 12-15 mph of constant, unobstructed wind that is free of turbulance casued by trees or other structures.
Most utilities in New York State charge their customers a small fee known as the (SBC) or system benefits charge. The money collected for this charge is used for funding an organization known as NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority). NYSERDA uses this money to give rebates to those purchasing solar electric systems also known as photovoltaic (PV) systems.
NYSERDA provides a cash rebate for the installation of PV systems. Generally, NYSERDA will cover approximately 40-45% of the installed cost of a PV system. All rebates are subject to approval by NYSERDA.
Please, contact us for more information on NYSERDA rebates or go to the NYSERDA website PowerNaturally.org.

Both New York State and the federal government offer tax credits to those who install a PV system on their residence or buisness. Under The American recovery and reinvestment act section 1122, allows for a 30% credit of the cost of a renewable energy system on a resisdence. Buisness tax credits vary. New York State also offers a sales tax exemption of 4%. Each individual county in New York may also offer increased sales tax exemptions. Please, contact us for more information.
More information on tax credits can be found at the Energy Incentives for Businesses in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Web Site.
